While the media wants to talk about the obstruction call that has been called all year.
There hasn't been a word about DCE knocking the ball on before half time that lend to try. While I'm over the moon we won. That call let them back into game. Amazing turnaround after the first 15 minutes.
I thought we were gone. However the refs tried to keep it even after they seen us kicking away.
Sean Russell and Peno looking solid. Sivo back next week. Simo as well. Talagi one for the future.
Our Bench changing games would like to see Greig in for Moretti even after him playing well today

Fox sports actually addressed it but on channel 9, it was clear Johns especially was rooting for Manly. Channel 9 did not even say anything when dce lost that ball.
Ennis went ape of the obstruction as did Gus Gould
Not to mention Gus being fired up when Kola's try was ruled out due to obstruction. It's clear frikin obstruction you frikin idiot biased gus!..
I loved the game
I thought we were lucky
I watched 9 so missed it
Yeah watched ch 9 too and not only did they not say anything I don't think it was even shown
I'd be interested to see it if it's online anywhere.
I don't think we were lucky at all. After the first 20 minutes, we were the dominant side.
Sounds like you should watch it again Flowy, if you think we were lucky, you don't understand that you make your own luck and that's basically what we did. Manly have no improvement in them from that game, I reckon we have between 20/30% with players returning, Moses being fit, the addition of further depth in the backline, Wiremu and Lane getting fitter and we maybe getting our left edge fixed.
Yep when anyone tells me we are lucky I usually reply with good players make their own luck.
Definitely not lucky after being down 14-0 and missing Sivo and Simmonson and having a 19yr Debutant and a couple of players out of their normal positions I thought the Eels played well and kept their composure. At 14 -0 down I was thinking it might get ugly but I was proven wrong. There were definitely some calls that went Manlys way. The obstruction was definitely according to the rules and obstruction.
Not only did dce knock on in the same set turbo ran behind two players, gave himself up as it was obstruction but then passed the ball which automatically should have been a penalty to the eels.
This! I was sitting next to a Manly supporter who was yelling what are you guys booing at after the Turbo did that. I told him was obstruction and he should have been penalised once he passed the ball. Bloke told me get over it. Unfortunately he was gone by the end of the game.
